Mantra 8
Sukta 63
येना दशग्वमध्रिगुं वेपयन्तं स्वर्णरम्। येना समुद्रमाविथा तमीमहे
yénā́ daśagvám adhríguṁ vepáyantaṁ svaṇarám | yénā samudrám āvítha tám īmahe ||
By that same might wherewith thou madest Daśagva shake Adhrigu, and Svaṇara quake; by that wherewith thou didst succour through the sea—Thee do we invoke.
எந்த வலிமையால் நீ தசக்வனை அத்ரிகுவை நடுங்கச் செய்தாய், ஸ்வணரனையும் குலுங்கச் செய்தாய்; மேலும் எந்த வலிமையால் நீ கடலைக் கடந்து துணை செய்தாயோ—அந்த உன்னையே நாம் அழைக்கிறோம்.
Rishi: Traditionally Indra-stuti material; in AV 20 many hymns are RV-derived; specific r̥ṣi attribution follows the RV source-hymn lineage (requires padapāṭha/anukramaṇī confirmation).
Devata: Indra
Chandas: Anuṣṭubh (likely; requires metrical confirmation against the RV original)
